For about two months, the Democratic senator sat on a letter outlining allegations against Kavanaugh claiming that he pinned a teen down on a bed during a party in high school and put his hand over her mouth when she tried to scream.

Chad Pergram, a congressional reporter for Fox News, tweeted late Tuesday afternoon that when Feinstein was asked about Kavanaugh’s accuser, Christine Ford, the senator said Ford “is a woman that has been, I think, profoundly impacted, on this,” adding that “I can’t say everything is truthful. I don’t know.”
